Dice Baseball
It’s baseball without the running, sweating, or scraped legs from sliding into base!
2-8 players
3 outs per inning, game lasts 9 innings (or however many innings agreed upon)
- Visiting team is up first.
- Roll the dice (colors do not matter)
- Find that combo of numbers on the chart.
- That is the outcome for that player. Move the runners to the appropriate bases, record any runs scored or record the out and prepare to roll for the next turn.
- Record runs on the curved path with the marble of your team’s color.
- After 3 outs, move the marble indicating the inning to the home team’s portion of the inning, move the out indicator back to zero, and home team repeats steps 2-5.
- Once the home team has 3 outs, move inning indicator to the second inning and repeat for both teams.
- At the end of the game, the team with the most runs wins!
